Service Notice or Precautions


ATF COOLER SERVICE
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning, "Removal and Installation.

CHECKING AND CHANGING A/T FLUID SERVICE
Increase ATF temperature by 80�C (176�F) once, and then check ATF level in 65�C (149�F) when adjusting ATF level.

NOTE:
JA60 uses both systems of a water-cooling and of an air-cooling. Air-cooling system has a by-pass valve.
When ATF temperature is not over 50�C (122�F) with water-cooling system OFF, it does not flow to air-cooling system. If ATF level is set without the flow of ATF, the level will be 10mm lower than the standard. Therefore, piping should be filled with ATF when adjusting level.

OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
- A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. Refer to the table on CONSULT-III Function (Transmission) for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
- The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memories.
Always perform the procedure on OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to complete the repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to OBD-II Function For A/T System.
- Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to Description and Operation.
